My husband had surgery mid August and was back to full time work in 2 weeks. He also has 2 start-ups on the side which require more work that "regular work". He turned 70 in October and he never plans to retire - he LOVES working and in this situation his creative work helps him keep "cancer" thoughts on a back burner.

He had to travel just about 6 weeks after surgery and he had no problem traveling. He, however, had very fast and uneventful post surgery recovery, so everybody is different and unfortunately nobody knows of how their body will react to either RP or RT.

It is great that you have options of either retire or not : ))) ! So - just take it easy and make one step at the time and act accordingly depending of how you feel. Maybe you will feel great but still decide to stop working and just enjoy your free time, or you might find that retirement is just too of a slow pace for you and would miss your colleagues and working environment if it is fulfilling for you. Maybe you will find some part-time option OR start a new career altogether : ))) - doing something that you always wished to do but were postponing.

Wishing you super successful treatment in the future : ))) and I am sure that it will be as such since you caught your PC early.
